Olympique Marseille has made a formal offer for the talented midfielder Boca JuniorsEzequiel Fernandez, according to Fabrizio RomanoThe 21-year-old Argentine is highly regarded and has attracted interest from several top clubs, including FC Portowhose initial approach was rejected by Boca Juniors.
Having recently secured the services of Roberto De Zerbi as their new manager, Marseille are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season. The French club have already signed Ismaël Koné and Lilian Brassier and are actively pursuing other targets such as Mason Greenwood and Youcef Atal in a bid to return to European competition.
Fernández, who is also an Argentina youth international, has expressed a strong desire to join Marseille. However, Boca Juniors’ stance on the transfer remains uncertain. The Argentine club have already shown their reluctance to part ways with their promising midfielder, rejecting an offer from FC Porto earlier this year.
RMC Sport reports that new manager Roberto De Zerbi is a big admirer of Fernández. De Zerbi sees the young midfielder not only as a crucial addition to Marseille’s midfield, but also as a versatile player capable of contributing to the defence. The Italian manager believes that Fernández’s skillset is precisely what OM are currently lacking.
The outcome of Marseille’s offer remains to be seen, with Boca Juniors yet to respond. Fans and pundits alike will be eager to see if the Ligue 1 club can secure the signature of the highly sought-after Argentinian talent.
